Happy birthday Mr Brown. I’ll always remember you with your infectious smile and kind manner. I was fortunate enough to be in your presence as a broadcast student and ten years later as your employee. You were the same man both times. I know you’re enjoying Heaven. Blessings to your family members.

When word came that Jack had passed I was deeply saddened.
Due to Jack's kindness I was allowed to do a daily radio show on AFRTS for almost 23 years. His wonderful, winning smile and sense of humor will be missed by all!
Thanks, Jack, for all the great years!

As General Manager at KCSN, Mr. Brown was someone to emulate.
Same as radio waves, his positive influence will exist forever.

I had the pleasure of working with Jack Brown when he owned The Don Martin School, what a sweet gentle presence he was. Always a smile and that wave. The world is less bright, less cheerful and a less friendly place in his absence.

To my best friend, K.C. and her wonderful family: One of my earliest and fondest childhood memories of Jack was watching him holding onto K.C.'s hands and twirling her on the front lawn of their Kinzie St. home. What a wonderful man he was and what wonderful children he raised. You will be missed by all who had the enormous pleasure of your company. Love, hugs and kisses, Andrea Bakalar.

Very sorry to hear about Mr. Brown's passing. I spent many hours at their home growing up. He instilled in me and interest in Short wave radio. My best to Steve, Chris, Patrick and KC.

I met Jack a few times but every time he always had a bright smile on his face. I pray for the family that the Lord will lift them up and send His Grace and Mercy to fill up their hearts in this time of Jacks passing to the perfect place that Jesus has prepared for him. God Bless

I was honored to have had the chance to meet Mr. Brown. He always had a smile, everytime I saw him. I will never forget the sparkle in his eyes, when he sang Christmas carols with the kids. He will be missed. My heartfelt condolences to the Brown family.

I am blessed to be part of a truly loving family. Uncle Jack inspired me, and I became a radio announcer, too! Uncle Jack is honored with several photos displayed in our home, and we will always remember him so very fondly. God bless you, fellow Browns and extended family.

More than anything else I shall remember Jack as a true gentleman. He had a rare gift for making everyone feel as though they were the most important person he had ever spoken with. We'll miss you, Jack.

Jack was one of the finest people I ever knew during my AFRTS career. He freely gave excellent advice and established a programming directorate that I was honored to inherit when he retired. His contributions to military broadcasting inspired those of us who followed. RIP, Jack

Steve has passed?

May 17, 2021
by Rick Eaton
Sorry to hear this if true. Steve and I were good friends growing up in the 60’s until we moved in ‘69. We lived a couple doors apart and spent a lot of time together playing baseball and football in the street among other things. We hooked up on social media a few years ago and I had hoped to get together with him but it never happened. I was fortunate enough to be invited to the Brown family Christmas extravaganza a couple of years ago (oddly in my old house), and although I got to reconnect with Chris and KC, Steve never made it in from Las Vegas. To the whole Brown family please accept my deepest condolences.

Steve Bowm’s death

May 16, 2021
by Scott Keene
I have been unable to find out how and when Steve passed. I was a friend of his. Jack was my instructor at Don Martin’s in the late 60’s. I later worked with Jack, Steve, Chris, and Pat at the school in the early 80’s. Later Steve was nice enough to use me multiple times as on air talent when he worked at Ralph’s. Is it possible someone.could contact me regarding Steve’s passing? If Chris or Pat or someone would be kind enough to call or text it would be very appreciated. Thank you.

My Uncle Jack

October 23, 2011
by Kathryn Brown

Uncle Jack...his voice, his laugh, his smiling Irish eyes...He could make you feel like you were the most important person in the room, and I knew he thought of me as a very special niece. I am so rich to have memories of this wonderful human being who was so much like my dad!  Thank-you, God for blessing me with such a wonderful and loving family, and for the peace and joy that comes with knowing that Uncle Jack, Aunt Charlotte, Grandma, Kevin, and many of those we've loved so much here on earth, are together with You, our Heavenly Father.
